It’s been said before that we can understand mercy & grace this way: Mercy = not getting the punishment I deserve, & grace = getting something I don’t deserve This wee we are looking at two chapters that emphasize God’s mercy & grace in the lives of those who least deserve it! Jonah takes time to describe what happens to him after he’s thrown overboard. He begins to call upon the Lord in the belly of the fish. This event brought Jonah to the end of himself and brought him to a change of heart, ultimately repenting before the Lord. Here we see God listened to Jonah’s cry for help and provided a way for him to be saved.
